Shi Mei, caught off guard, stumbled forward with an involuntary cry.
Her hands flailed to grab something, and fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself by catching the wall in front of her.
She came to a stop right in front of Shi Lingyan, breathing a sigh of relief.
However, her current position was somewhat awkward.
She reached up to brace herself against the corner of the wall, her body angled, while right below her sat the ever-quiet Shi Lingyan.
Shi Lingyan looked up at her, his deep, inky eyes even darker than usual at that moment.
Their eyes met, and Shi Mei's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Whistles and cheers erupted around her, with Xu Cuo even starting to whistle.
Shi Mei's cheeks heated up, and she instinctively tried to rise.
But someone pushed her from the waist, unbalancing her further. She fell directly onto Shi Lingyan.
Shi Mei landed securely in his arms, his familiar masculine warmth causing her heart to skip a beat.
